Don't Be A Demas
This mornings church service was, as my Josh put it, "is one we won't soon forget."
The spirit was real and present. There was shouting and singing praises to our wonderful Saviour. Greg could hardly speak when he took the pulpit, but what he did say spoke volumes. "Don't be a Demas" In Second Titus 4:10 Paul writes: "For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world..." Having loved this present world. How many of us have been led away from living life fully for God because we took our eyes off of the cross and are loving this present world?
Thankfully, our congregation was able to lay aside this present world this morning and the greatest blessing of all was a young woman was saved and is going to be baptized and another joined the church by letter.
It was so good to feel the love of God flowing, hearing brothers and sisters in Christ testify of God's goodness and knowing that when we all departed we were strengthened and looking forward to tonight's service.
As one of my sisters in Christ said, " God is good!"

ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful when our children get to experience services like this? It seems like they are few and far between in this day, but the Lord is able when we are willing!
